was reading some old elektron manuals

did there used to be a “GRID” button or is that just language that has evolved and been updated since??

Rec button activates Grid Recording mode.

so referring to the REC button they were? -yoda lol

wait what’s the diff between a trigless trig and a trigless lock?

Trigless trigs function similarly to lock trigs, but trig LFOs and FX envelopes.

(lock trigs: formerly named trigless locks)

keep forgetting this all the time – also the submenu where you can set triggering of AMP envelope … guess I need to make a cheat sheet for that one day. Last real mystery for me of the OT!

Are you sure? :wink:

I still think there are ghosts in the machine, but they won’t show up each day/night … :smiley:

I just used MIDI loopback with the EXT LEN GRID REC to play and record note lengths from a MIDI controller.

Sample on Track 7. Set AMP RELEASE to a low number for the minimum note length.

Set MIDI track 7 to MIDI CH7.

That’s it. You can record midi notes with length, and it triggers the audio sample, also with length.

I’m not actually using a cable for loopback. It’s going in>out via an iConnect midi interface, which I guess is necessary to allow the controller and the loopback to work together.

Still, it was dead easy, and works great. Easy enough that I can see myself using it as a standard tool.

EDIT:

This isn’t working quite how I thought–experimenting further
